Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 180

Somehow, Kevin felt that he would be blamed, though he didn't know why.

A short moment later, what he had thought came into reality as expected. Carl frowned and said coldly, "You already have a child, but why did you still choose to get divorced?"

Selma was a bit stunned by his words.

"Dad, it's their own business. Don't worry. They'll handle it themselves," Selma said trying to hide that she was nervous of the way he spoke.

Although she knew that Anne was not a bad person and all the misunderstandings were caused by Cherry who framed Anne up, she still disliked her because she was too stubborn. However, Kevin was still obsessed with Anne despite her attitude.

As soon as Selma finished her words, she heard Carl snort coldly, "You know it's their own business. Then why can't you just let them deal with it by themselves? In this way, you could only make things more difficult. Since you like to meddle in it so much, you can just help them live the rest of their lives."

At first, Anne was a little wary of Kevin's family, but when she heard how Carl spoke, she admired this strict and stereotyped old man.

"I will listen to you from now on," Selma said in a low voice trying to settle the situation.

"Ah--" When the baby saw Anne, he stretched out his hand for her to hold him. He was at the verge of crying.

The baby was so cute that he almost melted Anne's heart. When Carl saw how the baby craved for his mother's care, he let out a sigh and said, "It's not easy to have a great grandson. But I can see that he doesn't like me."

When Kevin heard the childish voice of Carl, he was also surprised. Anne just smiled slightly and took the baby from Carl's arms and said, "Grandpa, the baby still likes you very much. If he doesn't like someone, he will cry all the time."

At this time, Carl furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Selma subconsciously, because the baby always cried in her arms.

Selma said no word. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Selma, be gentle in the future. Don’t frighten the child, or he will not be close to you," Carl said.

"Grandpa, we just came back. We will go to have some rest." After saying that, Kevin held Anne's hand and went straight to his room.

Carl sighed heavily and said, "When the kids grow up, they don't tend to be close to the elderly anymore." There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

The room where Kevin brought Anne used to be his room when he was a kid. It was very big. There are many toys such as submachine guns, car models, remote-control aircraft, and game consoles. They were well preserved with his childhood memories. However, a corner of a well-made game console was missing, and several buttons on it fell off.

This was the first time that she had been so close to the things from his childhood.

When she saw his broken toy, she asked him curiously, "Kevin, why is this game console broken?"

But after he heard this question, his face darkened and he looked a little sad. It was as if he remembered something about the toy which she referred to.

"Sam gave this to me." Kevin spoke in a low voice. There was a hint of angst in his deep eyes.

They were all wealthy families here, so Kevin made good friends with the kids from other wealthy families when he was young. Still and all, he saw Sam as the best one to play with.

At that time, he liked to play very much, but his mother didn't allow him to play with the toys in his room because he was the future heir of the Fu Family. There were no room for him to enjoy his childhood. At a very young age, he was taught how to run their family business smoothly.

"Then why did you break this toy if Sam was your good friend?" Anne furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and asked curiously.

"It was my mother who thought that I would lose my will when I always played it. In order to remind me of the great responsibility that awaits in my future, she broke it." There was pain in his eyes as he spoke in an aggrieved tone.

At last, not caring whether Anne still had any doubts, he suddenly cut it off, and said, "Let's get some sleep."

Anne could tell that he was not really sleepy. He just wanted to change the topic, because he thought that it would just lead him to a very emotional state which he didn't like to show in front of her.

She immediately opened up a new topic and began to spoke. "The baby is getting healthier recently. Let's nickname him Charles, okay?"

When she first came back, the baby was very thin and weak, so she wished for him to grow up well-nourished and strong.

"Good name." Kevin smiled gently and touched Charles' face.

The baby seemed to like his name and quickly showed a lovely smile.

"Well, let's go to bed. We are going back tomorrow. If we don't sleep well, Grandpa will surely insist for us to stay." Recently, Carl had become very friendly, so there were high chances that he would ask them to stay.

On the next day, just when the sun had risen, Kevin and Anne got up from bed. They planned to leave before Carl got up, so that they could avoid him.

But to their surprise, Carl had already woken up and was taking a walk in the garden.

When they met him on the narrow road, his expression suddenly changed.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? What do you want to do?" he asked with a cold face. He suddenly felt sad when he saw that they already wanted to leave.

"There is an emergency in the company, so I have to go first," Kevin replied calmly.

But Carl said, "In that case, it's only you who needs to leave urgently. Why are you taking my great grandson away?"

He had always been so great in his early years, mostly in the business industry, but he never expected that his life would be this lonely and miserable when he got old.

"Of course. Every parent likes their children to be healthy and strong. I can see that you love your baby so much and you are also a good person."

The nanny was praising her when the phone suddenly rang.

Anne answered it and found that it was from Trey.

She handed her child to the nanny and took the phone. She immediately went to the place mentioned by Trey.

When she arrived, she saw Trey sitting in front of the French window on the third floor. He was looking down at the people below. His expression was cold and distant, as if he couldn't blend into the world at all.

"Hello, Mr. Trey," she greeted him and sat opposite to him.

This time, he chose a small table. He had been staring at her from the time she entered the shop.

"Hello," Trey simply answered.

"Do you have anything to ask me to do?" Anne asked and furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes, we have made a real product for your design. We just want you to give your own work a name. In fact, we shouldn't have troubled you for such a trivial matter, but we think that it would be better if the name is given by you, so the real meaning of it would be seen through its name."

"I see," Anne said shortly.

"I would like to name it 'Reborn'. Everyone will encounter all kinds of hardships in life, but we can't always stay in the pain of the past. Only when we get rid of the shadow in our hearts can we be reborn." Anne reflected on her own life experiences. It was indeed the past that made her strong, but it was the future she chose to look forward to, and so she never lost hope.

She felt a hint of pain in her heart when she remembered the remarkable moments of her past, but now she was a well-refined woman, confident with what made her like she was now.

This confidence came from her own efforts and the motivation that her baby gave her. On the other hand, it was probably because of Kevin's love for her.

Anne felt happy that she finally got what she wanted, although she had suffered many setbacks. It seemed that a part of her life was already filled up at this point in time.

The sound of applauding had awakened her back to her senses. "You are indeed a good designer. Although I haven't seen your previous works, everyone who have seen your designs say that your works gave them a feeling of transformation, so this is probably the idea behind your works."

Trey was suspicious in the last time that they had met, but now, he totally appreciated her.

"Thank you." Anne smiled from ear to ear and accepted his praise.

"So, are you interested in attending the new product launch event of our company?" Trey invited.
